It should be noted that this post was written before the US’ 2-0 win over South Korea, sucks when games so quickly follow the last day of the month. But the good news is, the guys who played well are going to get a little more attention from P4TP leading up to next month’s report, so here we go…Tim Howard, G – Really hurt seeing him give up 4 against Liverpool, but as the months go by, it becomes more and more clear that injury will be the only thing keeping him out of the line-upBrad Guzan, G – Should already be looking ahead to Russia 2018Nick Rimando, G - A start against Korea is confirmation that he will be the #3 guy in BrazilGeoff Cameron, D – The standard-bearer for Yanks in England, has looked like the RB we needMatt Beslar, D – Should start against Korea. Still the guy to beatOmar Gonzalez, D – See aboveDaMarcus Beasley, D – Getting consistent playing time at LWB helps his cause significantlyFabian Johnson, D – Playing more LB in Germany than LM, so he gets pushed back into defense. Really looks capable, hope he doesn’t miss long with the broken handBrad Evans, D – Still Klinsi’s top choice at RB…but with Parkhurst back in MLS getting significant playing time…for who long?Clarence Goodson, D – Brooks can’t stay healthy, but you won’t hear Goodson complainingMichael Bradley, M – Toronto? Really? God I hope this works.Graham Zusi, M – Finally get to see how he and Donovan play together on Feb 1, also consistent playing time should push him past Bedoya in the pecking order again.Mix Diskerud, M – I really love the idea of him coming off the bench, against Mexico and Russia he was a spark…see also South Africa in 2011Alejandro Bedoya, M – Consistent starter in Ligue 1, plays 3 or 4 positions well enough to earn timeSacha Kljestan, M – Bradley moves to MLS. Jones is now in Turkey of all places…Sacha is back in the foldJermaine Jones, M – Move to Turkey is for primarily financial reasons. Not in European play, not even in the Turkish cup right now, yeah he’ll get playing time, but maybe he should’ve looked to MLS for better qualityBrek Shea, M – This loan keeps him alive. Must get a call-up against Ukraine or it won’t matterKyle Beckerman, M – Still merits inclusion. I expect a very consistent game from him against KoreaAron Johannsson, F – New #1 striker? You bet! He’s in form and crushing it right nowLandon Donovan, F – Based on interviews, Klinsi trusts him again, the Zusi/Bedoya/Donovan/Dempsey/Johannsson/Altidore/EJ/Fabian battle for the 4 attacking/wide positions begins nowJozy Altidore, F – For God’s sake, score or transfer before you get benchedClint Dempsey, F – Is Fulham really that bad? I feel bad for Deuce right nowEddie Johnson, F – He’s on the roster, but I’m not moving him till I see what he does with his new clubThis will be the last month I do 35. I’m going to start calling the 30 man preliminary roster that we should expect for World Cup campMichael Parkhurst – Moves to MLS, gets a quick call-up, does he have enough time to unseat Evans?Terrence Boyd – The 6th striker right now, if we cut a midJohn Anthony Brooks – JK wants him on this team so badly…for 2018Hercules Gomez – So integral in 2012, but coaches have a short term memoryMichael Orozco Fiscal – Brooks is injury prone and Orozco is a viable back-up anywhere on the back line will merit a lookEdgar Castillo – May sneak on, but his chances are getting slimmer every weekSteve Cherundolo – Needs to start playing, or even I’ll remove him from the listTimmy Chandler – Ukraine is his absolute last chance for 2014Maurice Edu – Great decision to move to MLS, better decision to do it on loanChris Wondolowski – Could he be the Findley/Buddle/Gomez of 2014?Brad Davis – Shea is not a given…but I’m not sold on Davis’s lack of real pace and defenseOguchi Onyewu – Has dominated since his move to Sheffield, may get one last look against Ukraine
